"When considered as a whole, this album is a sprawling trip into an otherworldly stream of consciousness. Sometimes lulling you blissfully, other times urging your body to be moved with emotion. The already established featured artists on this record adapt perfectly to the cross-genre blending, ne..." [+] Reply

"New Wave was never the most coherent of genres and this release only marginally fits into that categorisation. The loose guitars, not-so-subtle synths and pounding drums, alongside Matt Johnson’s soulful vocals, make for a wonderful listen, however. Worth your time. Rating: Very Good Best track: ..."

"This is a refreshing album. Songs like "Modern World", "Dear Sons And Daughters Of Hungry Ghosts" and "I'll Believe Anything" are memorable and very catchy." Reply

"(A near-perfect Indie Folk album that is so much more than just an indie folk album that it feels silly dropping that name/genre/tag on it. It’s still peak-Sufjan - somehow after over 20 years and it’s just a life-affirming, beautiful, escapist work of intense beauty) It’s a good feeling having a..." [+] Reply

"Definitely disappointed. Although this is pretty good pop rap, this isn't exactly where I wanted Chance's music to go. Singles like 'Angels' got me hoping for a mixtape with that tropical type sound and some gospel 'Ultralight Beam' stuff mixed in. Chance went for a very mainstream pop-rap sound ..." [+] Reply

"I am a hard Morricone fan, but somehow this music when listening to LP, it just does not work as a movie watching. Perhaps the film's tone seems worn out playing. I think L'Estasi Dell'Oro (The Ecstasy of Gold) is the disc's most fascinating piece. Look at the earth Morricone Arena concert in Ver..." [+] Reply
